If the standards themselves (ANSI X3.4-1977, "Code for Information
Interchange," ANSI X3.41-1974, "Code Extension Techniques for Use with
the 7-Bit Coded Character Set of ASCII," and ANSI X3.64-1979,
"Additional Controls for Use with ASCII") won't do the job, try "Coded
Character Sets: History and Development" by Charles MacKenzie,
Addison-Wesley.  I haven't read it myself, but it's in the Systems
Programming Series, which is generally worthwhile.

BTW, the standards are available from ANSI:
